Flapper Skirt

My husband used to live what was once a speakeasy above an old vaudeville theater. I imagine that back in the twenties, passwords were whispered through the slat in his door and the right code would lead you to a smokey room full of poker chips and gin. The women would have worn finger waves, feathered diadems, long strings of pearls and scandalously short fringed dresses. At least, that's what pops into my mind when I look at this grey beaded skirt from Urban Outfitters. It's even called "speakeasy". It's $98, but I bet you could get more wear out of it than from your typical party dress.

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.
